Overview
For the formatting issues of this project proposal paper please consider the paper template
papertemp.doc on the EWB homepage.
This section gives brief overview of the project. What is this project proposing, why is it important to
implement it, who will benefit from it? Furthermore, in this part the project should be categorised
under any of the Conference sub-themes.
Needs
This is one of the most important parts of the project framework Here is described the problems and
challenges of community/society that this project is addressing. You should also explain here why
these needs have been selected.
Target Groups
The idea of this section is to explain to which target group the project is meant for. Try to specify the
target group as well as you can. Is it dealing with young people or adults, is it for people from rural or
urban areas or both, people from Asia or Africa or for inhabitants of a certain village in Ukraine?
Goals
In goals you should define the aim that you'd like to achieve with the project. They can be practical
and impractical, qualitative and quantitative, general and precise. The rest of the project is all about
how to reach these goals so pay special attention to this section.
Intermezzo: Use of References
In order to cite your references put the name of the first author and date in brackets like this: (Sloep
2005) or write “as Sloep (2005) argues” or “Sloep (2005) talks of”, etc. The list of references should
be at the very end of your manuscript under the section heading “References”. For the references use
the same structure as the examples given in the References section below.

Activities and Methodology


In this section you should explain what is actually done to reach the goals and by which means this is
done. For example, if the goal would be to improve access to internet, the activity could be a computer
club.
Implementation and Timeframe
After having explained in the previous section the ways the project is executed, it is now time to
outline the practical terms on how it is done. You should also try to break the project into small steps.
Also try to estimate how much time the implementation of the whole project and different phases of it
takes.
Resources
What is needed to implement this project? Does it require a lot funding or is it possible to keep it low
cost? A budget would be recommended here. What is needed for the implementation of the project -
people, materials, technique, know-how etc? Who would be interested to support the project - local or
national governments, international funds, young people themselves?
Project Organisation
Under this section you should cover how the project will be organised. You can also analyse
differences when the project is being carried out locally, nationally or internationally. Is this a project
that can also be taken up by other people in other countries? Do you wish to invite EWB alumni to
realize it? How?
Intermezzo: How to insert Tables and Figures
Tables and black & white or colour figures should be inserted into the text at the appropriate place in
publication quality. They should be clearly identified with a caption above Table and under Figure.
You can insert your figures digitally from a picture file (Insert->Picture->From File).

Fig. 1. Caption for figure one.


Tables can be inserted with (Table->Insert->Table). Refer to the figures or tables in the text, e.g. Fig.
1 shows a sample figure with a caption below. Tab. 1 shows a sample table with caption above
Tab 1. Caption for table one. (Style: EWB Table Caption)
Fonts in Table (Style: Fonts for Caption

Evaluation
Evaluation is an essential part of a successful implementation of any project. Which criteria should be
fulfilled in order to say that the project was a success? What processes of evaluation should be used?
What are the meters to be used? Please bear in mind that evaluation should be based on the goals set in
the part 4.
Special Considerations
In this last section you should bring out controversial issues, unsettled problems you are facing and
other challenges that may arise that could also be helpful for other people wanting to pick up your
project idea in other parts of the world. You can also write here about the possible alternations that can
be made to the project. What should be kept in mind while implementing the project.

The Acknowledgements section is not required.
